I went Venice in October, I was told that I was very luck as the weather was very nice on that day. The sky was very clear so I could see the peaks of alpes very clear. The colours of the buildings and the blue sea and sky make this beautiful scenery.
Piazza Santa Croce is one of the main plazas or squares located in the central neighbourhood of Florence, in the region of Tuscany, Italy. It is located near Piazza della Signoria and the National Central Library, and takes its name from the Basilica of Santa Croce that overlooks the square.
The most notable features of the basilica are its sixteen chapels, many of them decorated with frescoes by Giotto and his pupils, and its tombs and cenotaphs.
It is the burial place of many illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Enrico Fermi, Galileo, Ugo Foscolo, Guglielmo Marconi, Luigi Cherubini, Leon Battista Alberti, Vittorio Alfieri, Gioacchino Rossini, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Lorenzo Bartolini, Pier Antonio Micheli, Bartolomeo Cristofori, Giovanni Gentile, thus it is known also as the Temple of the Italian Glories (Tempio dell'Itale Glorie).
Reburied on the spot in 1737.
Michelangelo died in 1564, the same year that another genius was born, only in another field: Galileo Galilei, who for defending the theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun (and not the other way around), was tried and condemned by the Holy Inquisition. For this reason, after his death, his body was abandoned outside the church ( flic.kr/p/SAHs1g ) for many years until finally, in 1737, the last Grand Duke of the Medici Family decided to give Galileo a dignified tomb inside the church, opposite Michelangelo.
The Basilica di Santa Croce (Basilica of the Holy Cross) is the principal Franciscan church in Florence, Italy, and a minor basilica of the Roman Catholic Church. It is situated on the Piazza di Santa Croce, about 800 meters south-east of the Duomo. The site, when first chosen, was in marshland outside the city walls. It is the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, the poet Foscolo, the philosopher Gentile and the composer Rossini, thus it is known also as the Temple of the Italian Glories (Tempio dell'Itale Glorie).*

來聖母百花大教堂，怎麼可以只爬橋托鐘塔呢~(甜笑)
當然是要連穹頂展望台也包下來的說~
誰知道他也有114.5公尺這麼高啊，而且一樣沒有電梯，由於內部的特殊設計，還要穿越攀爬側身才能過的小走道爬上去，遮騰一會，到達圓頂后才發現周圍的欄杆其實不高，大風吹起，望出去感覺就好像自己要從屋簷滑下去了(汗)，還挺刺激......................的~
所以，這次是紮紮實實的鐵腿加腿軟了~

由圖中，可以望見遠方的佛羅倫斯聖十字聖殿（Basilica di Santa Croce）。是方濟各會在義大利佛羅倫斯的主要教堂，羅馬天主教的一座次級聖殿，坐落在主教座堂東南方大約800米的聖十字廣場(舊照片裡這個方位啦!)。
這個地點原是城牆外的一片沼澤地。在這座教堂中，安葬著許多位最傑出的義大利人，例如米開朗基羅、伽利略、馬基亞維利、烏戈·福斯科洛（Ugo Foscolo）、喬瓦尼·詹蒂萊（Giovanni Gentile）、羅西尼和馬可尼，
因而被稱為「義大利的先賢祠」（Tempio dell'Itale Glorie）。

如果不怕高的話， 在橋托鐘塔上，除了可以暢快的俯瞰整個佛羅倫斯的市容，也可以用不同於平地的角度，看看這個都市其他著名的古蹟建築(雙腿發抖ING).......
像圖中的這座教堂。就是佛羅倫斯的忠烈祠- 聖十字聖殿。
佛羅倫斯聖十字聖殿是世界上最大的方濟各會教堂。它最顯著的特徵就是擁有16個小聖堂(外面看起來是一間，可是其實裡面有很多小隔間聖堂)，其中許多小聖堂都裝飾著喬托及其學生創作的壁畫，以及墓穴和紀念碑，因此才可以簡單說，這間是名人墓園加忠烈祠加上美術館的複合式教堂啊!
對於佛羅倫斯人而言，這座聖殿既是一個禮拜場所，也是捐贈對象，此外，在習慣上，廣受尊敬的佛羅倫斯名人都埋葬在此，或在此立碑紀念。
而葬在此地最著名的人物，就是米開朗基羅以及伽利略(不是福山雅志喔!) 了~
其他像是佛羅倫斯南丁格爾(沒錯，就是那位偉大的護理學先驅以及統計學家)雖然是英國人，但因為出生在這個城市，所以也在這個教堂設立了她的紀念碑~

不忘碎碎念~ 佛羅倫斯聖十字聖殿（Basilica di Santa Croce）。是方濟各會在義大利佛羅倫斯的主要教堂，羅馬天主教的一座次級聖殿，坐落在主教座堂東南方大約800米的聖十字廣場，就照片上看到的這樽就是了啦!

In this 3-frame panorama from atop Il Duomo di Firenze, you can see The Basilica of the Holy Cross with its prominent Star of David, to the left; the Bargello (National Museum) with Volognana Tower, in the center-left foreground; and, the Palazzo Vecchio, or Old Palace, with its clock tower bathed in green light, to the right.
To think that this city was home to Dante, Gallileo, Macchiavelli, Michelangelo, the Medici family and Bartolini is incomprehensible. Most of these are entombed in Santa Croce, while their works and their influence are displayed throughout the city.

For this shot of the cloister of the Basilca of Santa Croce I converted to B&W with an infrared setting and then used a Topaz Adjust Clarity filter to enhance the textures. Lastly, quite a bit of 'burning in' has helped keep the corners of the frame darker to hold the viewers interest in the centre of the frame.
It certainly gives it a bit more impact than the rather wishy-washy colour original. It's a post-production technique I find particularly good for shots taken in harsh midday sunlight.

The Basilica di Santa Croce (Basilica of the Holy Cross) is the principal Franciscan church in Florence, Italy, and a minor basilica of the Roman Catholic Church. It is situated on the Piazza di Santa Croce, about 800 yards/meters south-east of the Duomo. The site, when first chosen, was in marshland outside the city walls and it is the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, the poet Foscolo, the philosopher Gentile and the composer Rossini, thus it is known also as the Temple of the Italian Glories (Tempio dell'Itale Glorie). The Basilica is the largest Franciscan church in the world. Its most notable features are its sixteen chapels, many of them decorated with frescoes by Giotto and his pupils, and its tombs and cenotaphs. Legend says that Santa Croce was founded by St Francis himself. The construction of the current church, to replace an older building, was begun on 12 May 1294 by Arnolfo di Cambio and paid for by some of the city's wealthiest families and was consecrated in 1442 by Pope Eugene IV. The building's design reflects the austere approach of the Franciscans. The neo-Gothic marble façade dates from 1857-1863. The Jewish architect Niccolo Matas from Ancona designed the church's façade, working a prominent Star of David into the composition. Matas had wanted to be buried with his peers but because he was Jewish, he was buried under the threshold and honored with an inscription.

A view of the Basilica of Sante Croce from the clocktower of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The historic centre of Florence is so uniform in height that the Churches still really stand out as the dominant landmarks.

The Basilica of the Holy Cross as seen from the Giotto bell tower at night. This is the main Franciscan church in Florence and it houses the remains of several famous Italian personalities among artists, scholars and scientists like Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Foscolo, Gentile, Rossini and Marconi. For this reason it is known as the Pantheon of the Italian Glories.

The Basilica di Sante Croce was a delight to visit, not so much for the main church but for the cloisters and the small Brunelleschi designed chapel, the entrance to which can be seen on the left here.
